#128 Story Session: Navigating ADHD in Midlife and Menopause

Did you know that October is ADHD awareness month? It is! 🙌🏽

In this story session, I invited community member Jenny to share her ADHD story with us, from her childhood diagnosis in 1984 to the challenges she’s faced in perimenopause. She opens up about the brain fog, anxiety, and her decision to shift away from traditional stimulant medications towards practices like yoga and hiking for relief. I loved hearing her articulate her insights into the unique relationship between ADHD and intuitive eating.

We explore the hurdles of recognizing hunger and fullness cues, as well as Jenny's practical approach to gentle nutrition—focusing on easy, low-effort meal prep. She also talks about the power of community, self-compassion, and how she manages daily life with ADHD using simple strategies like post-its and physical activity. This episode is a comforting and empowering listen for anyone navigating ADHD in midlife.
